Oysters for Valentine's Day

VALENTINE'S DAY DELIVERY:

If you would like fresh oysters for Valentine's Day, if possible, at Checkout please select delivery for Thursday 13 February. That way, on the rare occasion that delivery is delayed by the courier, it means delivery will be made the next day on Friday 14 February.


If you are not available at the time of delivery, the courier will leave your parcel in a safe place or with a neighbour. You can specify a safe place at Checkout under 'Order Notes' (for example: If out leave parcel in porch, at side of house etc).


Whether delivered on Thursday 13 February or Friday 14 December, Pacific Oysters and smoked fish will remain fresh to consume for 7 days from delivery; and Native Oysters will remain fresh for 5 days from delivery.


General information on delivery:

Tip: Save on courier fees - click on any seafood product, then scroll to the bottom of the same page to see other products available from the same producer under the same courier fee.


Please order oysters and/or other seafood as early as possible.


Choose your delivery date at checkout:

Our oysters, smoked fish and other seafood are packed to order by our shellfish farms/fisheries and smokery (Monday to Thursday), for next day delivery direct to your address in mainland UK (Tuesday to Friday). This is why our seafood is the freshest seafood possible - couriered direct from the source to your address.


At Checkout, you select the date you would like your parcel delivered to your address (your scheduled delivery date). Delivery is usually made between 8am and 4pm (or on occasions by 6pm or later) on your scheduled delivery date by courier. Please note: On rare occasions parcels may be delayed by the courier's network, so delivery may be made the next business day. Please see 'Order seafood 1 day in advance' below.


Order seafood 1 day in advance:

We recommend you select your delivery date for seafood one day in advance. For example, if you would like your parcel delivered on Friday as you need the seafood on Saturday night, then at Checkout, please select Thursday as your scheduled delivery date. This means your parcel should be delivered on Thursday, and if delayed by the couriers, then delivery will be made the next business day on Friday. Oysters and smoked fish will remain fresh and fine to consume for at least 5-7 days from delivery.


Courier consignment details and how to store seafood:

On the day prior to your scheduled delivery date, we email you the courier consignment details for your parcel. Please use these details to visit the courier's website to track the status of delivery. Your parcel should be delivered on your scheduled delivery date, or on rare occasions the next business day. If you have any questions about delivery, please contact your local delivery depot as they will only discuss delivery with the recipient of the parcel for confidentiality reasons. If you would like to collect your parcel from your local courier depot, please make these arrangements with your local delivery depot.
